Tuna Lattume
This is a specialty, a real delicacy that comes from the processing of the tuna gonads. Is a typical fish product used as an ingredient in Sicilian and Sardinian cuisine.
Typical of Sicily, in particular of the areas of Trapani, Palermo and Siracusa, it is the male equivalent of bottarga, generally made from tuna. The difference is both in the taste and in the colour, fleshy pink in the lattume and orange in the roe.
It is a rare and high gastronomy preparation. It can be used to flavor pasta, salads or eaten directly fried. In Trapani cuisine it is also used in salt, do not contain any added starches or flavor enhancers.
